I was just given this pothos plant. It was healthy when I got it a couple weeks ago but is not fairing well. I water and drain once a week. Had it outside for a bit but brought it in when we were looking at freezing temps, and now have it in the window. Total beginner so don’t even know where to start. Any ideas what is ailing my little pothos?

help!!! My regal shields seems to not being doing too hot… I’ve lost some leaves and have been having some discoloration. I added something for it to climb to help the leaves from drooping as much. I feel like I could lift the entire plant right out of the soil…. I’m still a new plant mom and don’t want this beautiful baby to flop!! Any advice?!
First two pictures are from today, 1/22.
Screenshots are from yesterday, 1/21.
Originally posted this an another group and have updated since: I watered it a day early with “Indoor Plant Food” that I have (you mix some with water) and mixed up the soil a bit to see if I could make the plant sit deeper in the soil. I also plucked off a dead leaf. It is currently in my bathroom (where I plan to give it some extra humidity when I shower tomorrow).
Any tips?!

My stingrays biggest leaf got attacked by spider mites, but surprisingly theres a new leaf, should i just wait for it to naturally die off or just let her help photosynthesize?

Help! Recently I underwatered my Bonsai tree but even after I gave him water (a week ago). His leaves are still dropping and he barely has any left! They are also turning yellow. I have him under a grow light too. What can I do?

Hi everyone! I was wondering what are the spots on my Monstera adansonii? I’m not sure if it needs more nutrients or it is some kind of disease 😕

Any recommendations on a fungicide spray? I’m new to plants and I’m not sure which one to get. There’s so many!

I just got this baby two days ago from Home Depot and it’s my first Bird of paradise. I am determined to not only have her grow, but thrive! However, I am no expert! Do I need to evaluate the soil? Should any of these leaves be trimmed off? Help!

How should I save my plant? I just got it and it came in like this. I’m not exactly sure what it is. Should I cut off the droopy leaves? Should I repot it? Thank you

Anyone have any idea what happened to my fig plant and also how i can go forward properly?
I bought the plant a month ago and the top light leaf is the first growth since ive owned it.
Ive heard anywhere from over watering/underwatering, too much sun/too little sun etc
Im a novice plant owner, ive managed to keep most of mine alive and to continue growing although i do not know much about the specifics.
Any help would be appreciated

My daughter in law gifted this to my son and obviously he’s not a plant guy and neither is she lol. So they gave it to me to try and “bring it back”, it was severely dry so I sat it in water to have as much as it could for now any tips are greatly appreciated 😊 tia

I keep watering, but he still looks terrible. Should I move to a smaller pot. When I got him he was in a humidity dome. Should I move him back to something like that?
